It's raining here at school. I should go out and take some photos when it starts up again. It'd be great it we had more fog tonight; the campus is so beautiful when the shroud begins to fall. Everything becomes more imposing, prominent; even the chapel appears to be more looming than usual, with the steeple fading away into nothingness as the fog takes over.

"Fidel Castro's nearly five decades of rule ended Sunday when Cuba's National Assembly chose his younger brother Raul to be the country's new president.The lawmakers' selection, which had been widely expected, came five days after Fidel Castro, 81, announced his resignation in a letter published in the state-run newspaper Granma.

In his address to the National Assembly, the 76-year-old Raul Castro proposed that "we consult Fidel" on important decisions. The 614 members of the legislative body passed that motion unanimously."

I'm posting today from The Pit -- my school's version of a cafeteria. To put it simply, anything run by Aramark is a bad idea; therefore, The Pit, is a bad idea. Here's an example of what I was served today: Chicken Alfredo. Normally, this would be a good idea if it wasn't for the fact that I was given half of a piece of chicken combined with 1/4 of another. I did take a photo, and will be posting that later. The chicken was actually undercooked, as well. I love corporate takeovers of private school property. In the end, the Pit generally has half-decent desserts. One of them is this weird, radioactive-looking chocolate cookie with mint. It's like a giant version of Thinmints. I'll be posting a photo of that too. If you ever see a radioactive-looking cookie, eat it.

Aside from the food, I was talking today with some friends about this interesting movie from the 70's: a blacksploitation film called "Sweet Sweetback's Badassssssssssss Song". It's essentially a porno with a bit of violence every now and then, so I'll be subjecting a group to watch this with me tonight. I'll let you all know how it goes.

My name is Keith, and this is my first post on my first blog. While I don't really have anything to say at the moment, given that I need to be up in five hours, I feel that I should at least welcome you all, and I hope to be posting a lot more soon.

Things to look for (in the near future):

- Updates on how school is going - Random thoughts and musings - Rants - A chance to give your opinion about topics I may bring up, allowing all of us to engage in an intellectual debate, of sorts.
